Migrating to LCM 1.1 10
If you are using VMware Lifecycle Manager - Standard 1.0.1 (LCM 1.0.1) or VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager
1.0.2 (LCM 1.0.2), you can migrate to VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager 1.1 (LCM 1.1).
This chapter includes the following topics:

“Migrating LCM 1.0.2 Configuration to LCM 1.1,” on page 61
Supported Migration Paths
The migration process is different for LCM 1.0.1 and LCM 1.0.2.
Table 10-1 lists the differences in the migration process.
Table 10-1. Supported Migration Paths
LCM Version Migration Path
LCM 1.0.1 Phase 1: Migrate to LCM 1.0.2
Phase 2: Migrate from LCM 1.0.2 to LCM 1.1
LCM 1.0.2 Migrate directly to LCM 1.1
Backing Up Database Tables
Before migrating, you should back up your LCM database table and networking database table.
The LCM database table contains virtual-machine-specific data that is managed by LCM, such as when the
virtual machine was created, who created it, and other specifications.
The networking database table contains data related to the management of the IP addresses.
NOTE This procedure is optional, but you should consider using backup for databases in a production
environment. The backup procedure depends on your database vendor.
